Goal 9.1 Ask Neighbors for Ye Old Gloves (Prepare to fight!) x 20
This was completed within 4 hours of my sending out the requests to my neighbors. It seems that the issues we experience with requesting items from neighbors are related to having to make more than one request during an event; this happens during storybook-type events.
I was going to suggest that S8 might consider putting in a routine to clear any lingering old requests an hour before the start of the second round of requests in the storybook events, but I realized that it wouldn't be possible because there would be players who may be lagging behind because of various reasons.
